I am a Filipino and a Christian too like you....Hey. I am a Filipino and a Christian too like you. I really agree with you. Being hurt and disappointed with this area of our lives is very frustrating that sometimes we don't want to like any guy we see as fit. Letting go of our desire to write our story and letting God write it for us is surrendering and giving the choice to God. When we leave the choice to God,He gives us the best. Hooray, girls!!!! We'll find him soon as we live our lives in a fulfilling way. :)Rugine Cheena C.

I really try to hand it over to God and ask him to bring the right person into my life but that is not something that is easy since I am such a control freak. And i am incredibly impatient.

When I'm getting out! and who cares if he has a condom in his wallet when I have one in mine? :-P<br /><br />I know that love is not what you see in the movies, it takes hard work, effort, to make relationships work, but a part of me is still hoping that my fairy tale ending is out there somewhere.<br /><br />There are a lot of things in my life I regret, and I think the biggest one is having sex with someone who didnt love me. I respect you for being able to wait, and to hold on to your ideas... beliefs. It's a rare and beautiful thing to find someone who is so devote in this day and age. Rock on, sister-friend.<br /><br />As for the guy... he's out there somewhere, and when the timing is right, He will send him to find you. :-)Storm.

I'm really glad I waited until college to fall in love even though he wasn't the right one either. I agree with waiting for the one who does open the doors and respects women. I know a lot of girls are out for the "thrill" like you said, but there are a lot of us who are holding on for the right one. We just haven't met him yet. :) When are you coming to Disney?

I really love the whole story I have with my husband, and I certainly hope to write more about it in the near future. I never dated much throughout high school, either... and my husband was my first EVERYTHING. First real kiss, first serious boyfriend, first person I had sex with... Even that kind of story is rare these days! There certainly were times I wasn't sure that we'd last (long distance for so many years was SO hard), but it happened how it was meant to. :)Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17269321014984871748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424251792068650186.post-39482344079548416012010-07-21T17:20:34.997-04:002010-07-21T17:20:34.997-04:00I'm in the middle of reading one of her books....I'm in the middle of reading one of her books...and of course I can't remember the name of it right now...I'm really enjoying it! <br />I think its interesting that you refer to her as an extreme Christian...:)) What do you mean by that?Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06193391675658982926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424251792068650186.post-74680016012018789972010-07-21T11:34:59.430-04:002010-07-21T11:34:59.430-04:00Although I was one that once I had my first kiss (...Although I was one that once I had my first kiss (not till I was 17) I started dating quite a bit. I loved kissing and it seemed like such a shame to NOT be with someone I could kiss.<br /><br />However, when it came to SEX I was a little more held back. It's hard for me to listen to people who start off with, "Yeah, I was SO WASTED and he was sorta cute so we did it." Um... did you catch his last name? Favorite color? If he has siblings? Or whether or not he has any STDs...<br /><br />I think your approach is a really, really good one and I think through it you'll end up with the guy that is right for you.Krysten @ Why Girls Are Weirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07290616156300143483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424251792068650186.post-12861476813896998102010-07-21T09:16:31.380-04:002010-07-21T09:16:31.380-04:00:) good luck. i'm not worried about you & ...:) good luck. i'm not worried about you & love.<br /><br />here's a quote.<br /><br />The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it is not. It is an existential truth: only those people who are capable of being alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core of the other person - without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other. They allow the other absolute freedom, because they know that if the other leaves, they will be as happy as they are now. Their happiness cannot be taken by the other, because it is not give[n] by the other.<br /><br />Then why do they want to be together? It is no longer a need; it is a luxury. Try to understand it. Real persons love each other as a luxury; it is not a need. They enjoy sharing: they have so much joy, they would like to pour it into somebody. And they know how to play their life as a solo instrument. <br /><br />The solo flute player knows how to enjoy his flute alone. And if he comes and finds a tabla player, a solo tabla player, they will enjoy being together and creating a harmony between the flute and the tabla. Both will enjoy it: they will both pour their richness into each other.<br /><br />”<br /><br />- <br />Osho, Being in Love<br /><br /><br /><br />Have a good day!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01848879737753847444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424251792068650186.post-40496291964508904022010-07-21T09:12:26.350-04:002010-07-21T09:12:26.350-04:00This is so fascinating to me- I love reading about...This is so fascinating to me- I love reading about your faith, and I think the approach you're taking to this sounds perfect for your heart :)Kyla Romahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15522259960482023707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424251792068650186.post-3842067010446733002010-07-21T08:54:08.585-04:002010-07-21T08:54:08.585-04:00I never really dated much in high school either.

It was definitely worth the wait because I found Mattie and although things are no where near perfect, we're both happy and that's what matters most.

It's made me rather 'unpopular' at Youth Group and such because not only am I homeschooled [such a crime.] but I don't date. Yes, I know some boys that I don't mind talking with, but I wouldn't really even call them friends. Just acquaintances. So yes, I congratulate you for standing up against the flow and choosing to be courted. Just hang in there and trust God, He knows when it's the right time.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />~LauraHannah Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16827003871145275463noreply@blogger.com
